Chambana

Planting my tomatoes today, got some heirlooms this year too, those are my favorite. EDIT: it’s crazy how fast summer sneaks up on you this time of year, last year by the end of May we were in the low to mid 90s, a mere 35 days from today.

Looks like one more frost/freeze potential Wednesday-Thursday, then it should be all systems go for planting season. Active pattern looks to be shaping up as well. ready for consistent warm weather, my son has grown an interest in hiking and camping, so lots of that on the agenda this summer.

Today was the nicest day of this young spring 2024. 73 degrees with a gentle breeze, spent the day prepping the patio, cleaning up the smoker and blackstone and enjoying the eclipse of course. Lawn mowing has commenced here as well.

You lived in Champaign? Yes, it’s a notoriously windy place. Coworker is from Louisville and was just complaining how windy it is here all the time.

No. Cooldown incoming. Duration remains to be seen.

74 in the paign, had pea sized hail this morning, feeling I’m just a nudge too north for the action this evening.

Maybe a quality hailer or two this afternoon, we shall see. Otherwise, things look to cool down, for how long remains to be seen.

Lawns are abnormally green for March 12th lol, I don’t remember this even during morch.

You must be miserable company, I never see anything even remotely positive spew from your posts.

73 with 45mph wind gusts here in the Paign.

Typically March is mud season, this year naso much. Looks like a drought developing right down the spine of the lower 48, genuinely curious how warm this spring/summer gets.

Post record after record of rocking February’s has come to a crashing halt, two absolute stinkers in a row. Mother Nature will always remain undefeated. This decade of 2020’s has had some absolute atrocious winters thus far.

If we get any beneficial rains in the coming weeks I am very curious to see just how fast things green up. We had a two week winter, and without that we likely had the most mild winter on record.
